Fan Mail!

We love getting messages from our honorary #SLAPPERS around the globe that hop on here for fun/creative swim workouts!  Thanks for the message Sarah...Happy Swimming in Montana :) I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your workouts with the public -  there aren’t very many swim workouts available online, and despite having  been a swimmer for the better part of 30 years, I am not at all creative  when tasked with coming up with my own workouts! The times and distances  you post (I’m a group B girl) are perfect and keep my swim buddy and myself  busy and in shape during the work week! I’ve even been noticing an  improvement in my times, which feels really good! Thanks again - please keep sharing for those of us who require guidance! Sarah M in Montana  ‍

 Our local pool experienced a sudden issue in the heating system that required a complete draining of the water and a 2-3 week wait on the necessary parts. In the meantime, we are swimming in the 59 degree lake water. We'll be back in the pool soon...and will continue posting new swim workouts here every week! Curious, does anyone want the SLAP open water swim workouts to be posted? We use a 200 meter length of beach to swim back-and-forth on...these workouts can easily be transferred to your current open water situation. Tell us in the comments!
